To me any time you improve your health it will have a positive effect on your life no matter what you do. It just makes sense.

 

Feed you body quality fuel and exercise to stay fit and it can only improve your life. Steadier hand, better eye sight, lower blood pressure, stronger muscle tone, how can this not help?

 

Feed you vehicle junk fuel, don't add aftermarket mods and it will not preform better. Kind of the same concept.

I think it does affect it. Especially with heart rate and breathing. If you're drinking a lot of caffeine or smoking a lot it can affect how you can control your breathing to squeeze of rounds and hold on target.

And for those diabetics with their sugars not under control,  their eyes (vision) have good days and bad.  Days when they see normal and days when they can't see to well.

 

If you drink two cups of black coffee every morning and then shoot, you obviously train to operate under those conditions.  If you add a third cup or take away a cup, it can affect your shooting.

Your lifestyle and diet affect everything, not only pistol marksmanship. I used to be overweight and didn’t exercise at all. My arm was tired after even holding a gun for a couple of minutes. I even was out of breathing after long-distance and calm walk in a park with my friends. Everything seemed normal for me, until something pumped in my head, and realized that I have to change my body. I started with the most popular program, such as Weight Watchers. But, to be honest, it didn’t really help me. My advice to you finds something suitable for you. While I was doing my research, I ran into this article https://www.modernfit.com/programs/noom/how-noom-stacks-up-vs-weight-watchers/ and decided to try this program. It was very helpful in the beginning and helped to adjust to a new lifestyle.

I also tried to lose weight with WW, but it didn't work on me. It seems for me that it became a bunch of commercial products, rather than help for overweight people, and those who wants to be fit

Ah thread revival. WW was life changing for me. After trying every weight management on the books about 15 years ago I tried weight watchers. Actually it was my wife, I just followed along. I’d had gotten to 250 lbs. I hover in the low 220s. I’m not skinny, but don’t feel like I’m on a diet. If I didn’t like eating so much, it would be easy to weigh less. I even have two semi pig out days. If you can’t lose on it there’s something else medically going on.

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
